For so many of us this is the hardest part of an MRKH diagnosis. How do you handle this big thing that just happened that you had no idea was possible and that you have had absolutely no preparation for?

The truth is that most of us have felt this same feeling and there is no right way to react or be and absolutely no apology needed for the grief it brings because MRKH is HARD.

We aren't designed to do life alone comfort can be gained from sharing with our loved ones or with others going through this, or through professional support. There are resources and support out there when you are ready but know also that taking time for you in this process is also important too.

You are stronger than you think.

What is MRKH? Swipe ---->

It is important to note that everyone with MRKH has a different yet familiar story but that exactly how MRKH presents itself for you may differ to this image.

A diagnosis of MRKH can be devastating and it also happens at an age when adult topics are thrown at us when we are still teenagers. It is impossible to describe that feeling but you are not alone even though it can feel like it.

There is a big peer community accessible and ready to support wherever you are in your journey.

A big part of what we do is connecting those with MRKH together whilst also raising awareness for the condition. If you would like to get involved, share your experience to help others or hear more about how you can support us please get in touch or follow the link in our bio to find out more. We love to hear from you.

We are here 🤍

🤍 New research 🤍

===

Reprofutures is a co-created research project which took place from 2019-2022 led by University of Exeter. Our objective was to understand what kinds of support that adults with variations in sex characteristics (VSCs) would like to receive with issues relating to reproduction, fertility, relationships, intimacy, and parenting (biological and non-biological). In particular, we aimed to consider how to improve the support provided in healthcare settings and social circles – from families, friends, partners – and to develop guidance to assist with these improvements.

The understanding of reproductive support was broad and included the freedom not to become a parent, as well as the potential to become a parent, and in either case for the environment to be safe, healthy, approving, non-judgemental and non-intrusive. Together we developed a series of qualitative workshops, written activities, and consultation sessions with 28 people with VSCs across the UK including 6 people from the MRKH community.

The conclusions from this work have been developed into a support guide, research report, and healthcare policy and practice recommendations and we have provided a link to these in our bio!

Sometimes we all need a reminder 🤍

An MRKH diagnosis can feel a lot like this. It can feel like being hit by a bus, it's a shock that can feel like we will never come to accept or feel at peace with.

Sometimes it can even feel like it comes back to haunt us when we least expect it.

But it can also bring opportunity too. Maybe that is a new perspective, a community, a different, but no less exciting, path. Or perhaps it is a new sense of strength and courage we could have never imagined.

MRKH can still be part of us but not rule us.

Who knows what life will throw at any of us but we are determined, as much as possible, to take strength from adversity and let those challenges grow with us and not against us

We have all done it at some point.

Buried our feelings in a hope of protecting ourselves or protecting others.

It is not a long term solution. We might think it is, but it isn't.

Its ok to have those feelings but facing them and processing them is important too. We can't even begin to move on until we do.

Your pain is valid.

Your grief is valid.

Don't hide your feelings to help someone else feel better, including yourself.

Your support network are there to help you, you are there to help you.
They can't help if you don't let them in.

🌟 ANNOUNCEMENT 🌟

MRKH Connect is growing and with more going on we needed to strengthen our team.

We are delighted to have invited our dear friend, collaborator and MRKH advocate extraordinaire @ally__hensley to join our team.

Ally will be known to many in our community but for those new here here is a little about this amazing human.

Ally Hensley is a writer, speaker, and global ambassador in women’s health and happiness.

She was the original co-founder of Australia’s first MRKH organisations, Sisters for Love and MRKH Australia and in 2016 co-founded Global MRKH, the first international consortium for MRKH organisations. The mission behind this international first, is to improve care and knowledge among healthcare professionals across the globe.

Ally understands the importance of creating a safe, informed and inclusive space. With her knowledge, experience and purpose to connect the community with ‘hearty-humanness’, Ally is a complementary asset to our team and we are so delighted she said yes!

MRKH Connect is a registered charity built on the mission of connecting those with MRKH together so no one feels alone. Our board of trustees oversee and guide the charity but we are community led and your inputs and engagement are a big part of what we do.

There are many ways you can get in touch, be a part of and have your voice heard, through sharing your story, taking part in our initiatives or working with us on new ideas.

Our door is always open ❤
